More than 260 teams took part in the 19th Woodley Hammers football tournament at Bulmershe School over the weekend May 30/31.

A total of 263 sides from under-seven level through to adults took part in the two-day annual event in Chequers Way, Woodley, with play-off and consolation finals being competed for.

The tournament saw more than 2,000 participants play in 850 games, with the teams travelling from 12 counties across the south east.

Woodley Hammers chairman Bill Rodda said: "I would particularly like to thank the teams that entered for their excellent attitude and behaviour and hope they had a fantastic day.

"Our annual tournament is very important to the club in demonstrating that we are welcoming club which enhances our recruitment of new players.

"It also has a significant financial impact in that, with ever growing costs to provide football and the current economic climate, it helps to keep down our registration and match fees during the course of the season."

Event co-ordinator Tracey Marshall added: "I was extremely grateful to all the sponsors and helpers that made the weekend such a success.

"The event went pretty much to schedule over the weekend which was quite an achievement considering we had 263 teams participating across 15 pitches."
